L'Estrange, Alexander: Zimbe! Come, sing the songs of Africa!
sheet music
The work opens and closes with an attention-grabbing Njooni Zimbe*! Nyimbo za Africa! imploring us to 'Come, sing the Songs of Africa!', by the time you've heard the vibrant sequence of twelve songs, which includes playground, wedding, funeral, drinking, protest, worship songs and lullabies, you will want to do just that. Zimbe! is the ideal piece for choirs who have enjoyed performing L'Estrange's Songs of a Rainbow Nation, works by Karl Jenkins or David Fanshawe's African Sanctus. (* 'Zimbe' is the anglicised version of the Swahili word 'Ziimbe')
